#POCUS guided iliohypogastric & ilioinguinal nerve blocks under light sedation to facilitate awake VA #ECMO + Impella cannulation in pediatric patients with nonpostcardiotomy cardiogenic shock
🔎 IhIG block placement in #PICU by anesthesia-trained intensivists + surgical awake #ECPcath lab seems a feasible & safe in selected pts, avoiding high-risk invasive ventilation and general anesthesia, with adequate team preparation + multidisciplinary expertise.
